Not wanting to go into how the dollar became a globalize currency, it is sufficient to say the dollars days as a globalize currency is ending. This means that Americans be forced to pay as she goes and we will be taxed heavily to pay off the accumulated debt. Americans have a negative saving rate so we will be praying to God to help us devise solutions to get through this economic mess.

Not healthy in the long run, but might help the powers that be get through the next election. Idiocy!

"go on vacation" ... keep CONSUMING! We live inside a monster that is devouring the planet. We need a paradigm shift of which we are afraid; we can't look it in the eye without a chill running up our national spine. Whether it is today or on some future day...we have to face it eventually. When we have eaten everything, then what?
